The Belbek River suddenly turned white

March 28, 2023

Residents of the village of Shchaslyve conducted their own investigation and discovered that at night tanker trucks pour some gray liquid into the river.

Next to them, the construction of a tunnel water pipeline is underway, which should supply water to Velyka Yalta from the Shchaslyvske and Zahirske reservoirs.

Ecologists, after examining the bleached water, came to the conclusion that a non-toxic mixture is poured into the Belbek – it is safe for people, but it contains significantly higher levels of calcium carbonate, which threatens the river’s ecosystem.
